Posted : 21 February 2025
Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of sexual assault for kissing Jenni Hermoso without consent during the 2023 Women's World Cup medal ceremony and was fined €10,800 (£8,942), with a one-year restraining order.
However, Spain's High Court acquitted him of coercion charges related to claims he pressured Hermoso to support his version of events.
The case has been a defining moment in women's football, highlighting issues of misconduct and accountability in sports leadership.
